Honey-Roasted Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie

It's been a while since I've blogged. I've been making yummy food, I've been taking pictures...I just couldn't quite make myself blog about it. I had the flu, my son had the flu, my father's health is still failing...there are a lot of reasons. I guess I needed something to get me out of my blogging hump. And Siggi's Yogurt did just that, when they notified me that I'd been selected as a fitness ambassador for their yummy yogurt!Siggi's is an Icelandic-style yogurt, made from grass-fed cows and non-GMO verified. It's a strained yogurt, which means it's thick and creamy and provides lots of protein. I especially love their plain, whole milk yogurt.

That 4% milkfat Siggi's yogurt is what I used for this rich and tasty smoothie. The yogurt (11 grams of protein), combined with the ricotta (9 grams) and milk (2 grams), and even strawberries (1 gram) mean that this smoothie provides 23 grams of protein. It's a fantastic breakfast or post-workout treat.

Roasting strawberries gives them an amazing depth of flavor—don't skip that step! It makes the berries taste like a not-too-sweet jam. Ingredients
